The Challenge Of The Hour The Page News & Courier, of Luray, Virginia, has printed an editorial whose theme is well told in its headline: "Individual Freedom: The Challenge of the Hour." It says, in part: "Unfortunately there exists in America today a far reaching and false sentiment that only through collectivism can there be achievement. The pressure is felt in the halls of Congress from so called lobbies and various 'blocs' and this sentiment is prevalent, far and wide, with the people back home, who, in the effort to gain their end, feel they must get in stride. Thus they fall an easy prey to ambitions which they fail to recognize as the seducer of their liberties. "Our political future, if the trend continues, will be irrevocably bound with policies which we cannot retract and it could very well be that in the end it will mean a new type of government, foreign to all which Americans hold good and wholesome in a free society.... "It is to be hoped that the dynamic life of modern times in America can be re-oriented and directed to the importance of the individual as a vital force in our society, our politics and hopes for the future. When that revival takes place, many of the problems of this distorted and bewildered world will be solved." Once the individual is submerged in a faceless, collective mass, on the material gains of which anyone can conceive become meaningless. To save America from this is, indeed, the challenge of the hour. Patterson And Johansson Floyd Patterson says he will probably fight Ingemar Johansson next year, in the first two or three months of the year. The fight is expected to be held in the South or on the West Coast, where an outdoor match could be staged but this is not definite as this editorial is written. Some people may not realize why fighters are not too edger to participate in two major bouts within a year. The answer is: taxes. A fighter may not do much throughout the year to earn a living—except to engage in one championship fight. But his expenses go on all year and he must pay training expenses, assistants, and all costs of living. He may do this over a period of years building up to the time when he is champion, or a top contender. In a sense this is an investment, just as a stock player invests in a business. When the fighter becomes champion, he has to pay steep taxes. He cannot go back and write off any of his years of struggle and investment, allowing this to absorb some of a big purse. He must pay on the nose, that year, and taxes take most of his big purse. If a fighter participates in two bouts in a year—major or championship gates—he pays even higher taxes. So, in recent years, we have seen ring champions postpone fights so that will stretch over another year. This, apparently, is what Floyd Patterson, the heavyweight champion, has done. There should be some relief for athletes who can enjoy only a relatively short number of years at peak earnings — though they might spend five or ted lean years on the road to success. Present tax laws don't give our human athletes as much of a break as they give investors on certain business investments, which is obviously an undesirable situation. Equal Opportunity Day There has been a lot of kidding about the number of special "days" that we commemorate here in our country. "National Pork Sausage Day" and "National Bubblegum Day," if they haven't already been created by some fearless supersalesman, are typical of some of the extremes we have gone to. Now we come to "Equal Opportunity Day" — November 19 — and we have reason to suspect that the general public may gear up its apathy, suspicious of some more of this "day" nonsense. This is the wrong thing to do. For "Equal Opportunity Day", rather than being frivolous at base is momentous in importance, and its object replaces salesmanship with the sheerest morality. Why one hundred and eighty-four years after our nation's revolutionary beginnings and almost a century after our civil war, must our nation be reminded that we still have quite a ways to go before we reach the goal of equal opportunity for all? True, progress has been made, but the wonder has not been our speed, unfortunately, but our tardiness in the full realization of this great principle on which our nation was founded. The purpose of Equal Opportunity Day (EOD) — the creation of the National Urban League, whose year-round job is expanding opportunities for those unjustifiably denied them — is to dramatize to the nation an unfortunate fact about itself, believing that with this dramatization further steps will be taken to clear smooth the path of justice which our forefathers charted many years ago. It behooves all Americans to observe Equal Opportunity Day this November 19th and to work toward the ideal of equal opportunity during the other 364 days of the year. REAL ESTATE DIGEST "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only." — James 1:22. Building good will is an activity that enters every phase of the selling process. The salesman or the broker cannot effectively build good will if he or she views this activity as something apart and distinct from his regular daily duties. Good will is built before the sale is made, during the sales presentation, and after the sale is closed. Good will is built when prospecting, when demonstrating, when answering objections, when closing the sale, and over the years after the product or service has been purchased. Good salesmen or brokers build good will daily by developing personal habits and habits of work which please and satisfy their customers or prospects. Good will to the accountant is an intangible asset which is recorded on the balance sheet. Good will is an intangible because it consists of the feelings or attitudes that customers or prospects have toward the company or its service or product. This attitude may change from time to time, depending upon customers' reactions to company services and policies. When buyers are satisfied with company service and policies, and buyers place more and more confidence in the company, the value of good will increases. Good will is important to the salesman because it helps him make the first sale and secure repeat sales. Customers who believe in the salesman and his company will help secure new prospects and new customers. The salesman and the broker should consciously build good will because, he or they benefits both directly and indirectly. The most tangible form of benefit is in increased earnings, while intangible benefits may be in the wide circle of friends they develops or in the satisfaction he derives from the knowledge that he has been of service of the buyer. Building good will results in sales. A Family which owns its nome take pride in it, maintains it better, gets more pleasure out of it, and has a more wholesome, healthful, and happy atmosphere in which to bring children. "We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we carry nothing out." I Timothy 6:7.

On the Lincoln campus young Snowden struck up an acquaintance with another new student. That new student was Benjamin Nnandi Azikiwe, a native of Nigeria, who had come to the United States in quest of a higher education. Like all young men, they dreamed great dreams together and swore that their bonds of friendship would never part. The young men parted as their college days ended. But they kept the ties of friendship strong through correspondence. Azikiwe vowed that one day his friend would come to Nigeria — as his guest. A few days ago, Mr. Snowden was amazed and delighted to receive a cablegram inviting him to Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, on November 16 to attend the inauguration of Mr. Azikiwe as governor general of Nigeria and commander in chief of that nation's armed forces. To be present at such an historic occasion was honor indeed for a man who had spent the last 27 years toiling in a steel mill to make ends meet while he preached the gospel in churches unable to pay him in much more than gratitude and respect. But the question was — how could Mr. Snowden obtain the necessary passport, visa, transportation and all the other needs in time to be in Lagos on November 16. A long-time member of Local 1211, United Steelworkers of America, Mr. Snowden took the problem to his union. Things happened — and fast. Acting Director Kay Kluz, of USWA District 20 in which Local 1211 is the biggest local, phoned Vice President Howard R. Hague, in charge of international affairs for the USWA by direction of President David J. McDonald. Mr. Hague put Meyer Meyer Bernstein, USWA foreign relations representative in Washington, to work. The required documents were obtained in less time than it takes to tell. Travel arrangements were made just as speedily. Mr. Snowden make, not the trip merely as an individual. He will carry credentials showing that he is officially representing the United Steelworkers of America. STUDENTS BECOME FRIENDS lead him to Nigeria in the next few days.

Wilkins Says Negro population daily." Secretary Wilkins was addressing the annual convention here on Nov. 10 of the New Jersey Education Association. Mr. Wilkins' remarks sounded anew the Association's prediction that a strong package of civil rights legislation will be introduced early in the next session of Congress and he urged speedy action on these measures. The Association also takes the position that certain constitutional guarantees can be enforced under existing legislation by executive order of the new President. Among these the NAACP cites the need for executive action ending (1) segregation or other forms of discrimination in all federal or federally-aided housing programs and establishing a Commission with sufficient funds and authority to implement the order; (2) direct all departments and agencies administering federal assistance programs to condition such assistance upon proof that the funds will be used in compliance with the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; (3) insure equal job opportunity in all employment resulting from federal grants, loans subsidies, contracts and license; (4) insure equal accesse to all facilities and services resulting from federal assistance programs, including public employment services, hospitals, schools, parks and eating and waiting room facilities in airports courthouses, etc. 4 Enter and urged all parents to send their children to school and all employes report as usual.

A FEVER in the BLOOD From the novel published by St. Martin's Press, Inc. Copyright O 1959, by William Pearson. Distributed by King Features Syndicate Lying on the small lakefront beach in front of what had once been the family cabin Bob Vinquist stared at the dark clouds which threatened one of those quick cloudbursts so frequent in the Lake Ontonka area. Looking out across tne windrippled water to the small raft anchored some twenty-five vards from shore, Bob could see Polly Hoffman posed in diving stance, ready to return, and just in time. Lightning flashed behind the hills. They would have rain in minutes. By the time Polly reached the shore he had gathered up the towels. Shivering as he stood there in T-shirt and trunks, he said, "Maybe we should have stayed in Rowton. Better to swelter than to freeze." Taking the offered terrycloth beach jacket, working into her sandals, Polly said, "We missed the Barbecue, at least. Can we complain?" She looked at the darkening sky and the lhouetted luffs. "I love it here. The solitude. The forests and up to a little while ago, lapping waters, blue skies, sunshine. "The poor man's Palm Springs," he said. Laughing, she took his hand, "But I am cold." They picked their way along the rocky path that led to the cabin, reaching the door just as the rain started. Bob bent in front of the fieldstone fireplace, lit the crumpled newspaper, and warmed his hands as the kindling began to crackle. "There's an old overcoat in the closet. Want me to get it?" "I'll be all right. I'll change into something dry in a few minutes. As soon as I warm up." Looking up at her, he said, "I've got just what the doctor ordered." Going to the kitchen, he mixed martinis; then, returning with a shaker and glasses, he said, "Special service for special guests." Accepting her martini, Polly sat down on an ancient maplearmed sofa. She raised her glass in a silent toast and said, "You are too kind." "Kind isn't exactly the word I had in mind." He put his arm around her, and she moved toward him. He could feel her body warm through the beach jacket and bathing suit. "I like the storm," she whispered, "I like all this." He lightly Kissed her lips. Contended, drifting, they listened to the crackling of the pinon logs. Tongues of flame cast leaping shadows and time went by in the storm-darkened room. So conscious of her presence beside him, acting with wbrdless tenderness, Bob twined his fingers in Polly's. "Polly?" She signed, as if he had interrupted some private tdy she was drowsily struggling to retain. "If Dan wins .." he began. She put a finger to his lips. "No politics, No politics now." He smiled. "No, I'm not about to start talking politics. But if Dan wins ... it's going to change our life too." "I know." "No, you don't really know. Not the way i mean, i want to tell you something Dan told me the night before the Hart trial. He went into a long story about his early life, and then suddenly, suddenly he said he wanted to run for President someday." Polly's laugh was contemptuous. "I know what you must be thinking. But what if he becomes Governor? isn't any governor a potential candidate?" He laughed himself, unconvincingly. "Not that he'd necessarily ever be chosen by a national convention. But he wants to try. And why not? Polly, he has a philosophy, he really does. When I try to express it for him, the words sound trite, but he wants to do for people what they're unable or unwilling to do for themselves." Bob groaned. "This must sound infantile!" She studied him. "Where do you enter his plans?" "I guess I'm the tail of the kite. But when he was talking that night before the trial—I might add he was feeling no pain—he spoke of making me Attorney General or even a Supreme Court Justice. Of course, that's ridiculous. I'm not taking it seriously. Still, I think it'd be kind of fun to wade hipdeep into national politics." "Is that what you really want?" "Well, I don't want to be an assistant district attorney forever." The phone started to ring. "Saved by the bell," Polly said with a laugh. Bob found his glasses and put them on. In the kitchen he took the old country phone from its wall hook. Judge Hoffman's voice said, "Ah, Bob, good. I was afraid you were somewhere out on that lake to a boat. You haven't by any chance been watching TV?" "We don't have any, Judge." "You're lucky. Well, on the newscast a while ago, they said there was a flash flood starting up your way. I thought perhaps . . . you'd want to know." "Good gosh, yes. We'll leave right away." "I think it's the smart thing, but I didn't want to be interfering." Judge Hoffman paused. "One more thing. On the same newscast it was reported that Dan had been in an accident." "Dan!" "He wasn't injured. But he, his driver, that is, hit a little Negro boy. The boy's in the hospital." "How did it happen?" "Apparently Dan and his man, Beers, had received a tip from an informer and were on their way to arrest a dope peddler." "Have you spoken to Dan?" "No." "Well, we'll get our things together, Judge. Do you want to talk to Polly?" "No, no." "All right. Good-by, Judge." Bob saw Polly's silhouetted figure in the doorway. "We've got to leave. There's a flood." "I'll get dressed." "Dan—his driver, actually— injured a Negro boy. Luckily they were on an official trip." "Why 'luckily'? The boy's just as injured." "Yes," he said lamely. "I didn't mean to sound so casual. But it would have been embarrassing to Dan in the campaign otherwise. Still might be." In a few minutes they were dressed for the street, their wet bathing suits left behind. He took the coat from the closet and draped it over Polly's shoulders. They walked to the porch and stood there a moment, staring across the storm-tossed lake, and letting the wet wind lash their faces. Then, hand in hand, they ran to the car. WELCOMING Polly and Bob into the living room, Judge Hoffman said, "Well, we were getting worried. No trouble on the way down?" Polly, kissing him, then her mother, said. "There was nothing to it. Now, sit down, both of you, stop fretting. We have some ... well ... some news We've decided, after consulting our horoscopes and other guides to the wise, to declare ourselves officially engaged. Wedding's after the November election. You see, I'm marrying a politician ..." "Oh, darling!" Eloise Hoffman cried. She embraced her daughter. If it's all right with you, sir," Bob said. "Good Lord, do young men still ask the fathers?" Judge Hoffman beamed. "I happen to have a bottle of Mumm's. It isn't chilled, but let the record show there are no objections."

State Tops Lincoln (Mo.) 38-6 For MWAA Football Title Big (6 foot 190 pound) sophomore halfback, Paul McNeal turned in the most brilliant afternoon of his college grid career as Tennessee State eleven cinced the Mid-Western loop championship last Saturday by trouncing Lincoln University Tigers 38-8. Hard running and merciless defensive tackling Houston, TexBorn McNeal scored tne game's third TD and passed to halfback Hank Arnold the second tally while chewing 120 yards of turf in nine sorties and ground gaining honors. "McNeal was just great," Coach Gentry beamed after the game. "He really ran the ball well and most of it was without too much blocking." On the receiving end of McNeal's aerial offering, halfback Arnold clicked for the second period score, and Jones cracked Lincoln's line for a two point. Opening the third stanza, the big Blues exploded for 22 points in seven and one-half minutes of play scoring three of the four times they got the ball in the quarter. Capitolizing on perfect passing weather and Lincoln miscues, Tennessee State, sparked by McNeal 41-yard scurry and Gene Stewarts passing arm, drove 75 yards for their third TD. Arnold rammed over from the one with 12:36 left in the quarter. Willie Mitchell, recovering a Lincoln fumble on the 37, set up Tennessee State's one-play 37 yard Stewart to McNeal scoring aerial a minute and thirteen seconds later. Arnold covered another Lincoln bobble, and Stan Randle cap ped a 44-yard drive by scoring from the two-yard marker.

Unemployment Up however, that the unemployment spurt in October backed up other evidence of a continuing slide in industrial activity which began last summer. In a further indication of a deteriorating job situation, the department reported a drop of 300,000 in jobs last month to 67.5 million. Employment usually rises in October. Still another unfavorable aspect of the monthly job report was an increase of 200,000 in the number of long-term unemployed — persons out of work 15 weeks or more. This figure, which had been hovering at about 800,000 for many months, rose to one million. The October jump in unemployment marked the first time that rate has gone over 6 per cent since October, 1959, during the steel strike. A Labor Department spokesman told reporters be considered the October unemployment increase "significant" because it was contrary to the normal pattern for the month. But he refused to say whether he thought it indicated the nation was in a recession. The deparment attributed the unemployment rise to cutbacks in manufacturing, particularly in the steel and electronics industries. Post-harvest reductions in agriculture were cited as the main reason for the decline in employment during the month.

A Labor Department spokesman told reporters be considered the October unemployment increase "significant" because it was contrary to the normal pattern for the month. But he refused to say whether he thought it indicated the nation was in a recession. The deparment attributed the unemployment rise to cutbacks in manufacturing, particularly in the steel and electronics industries. Post-harvest reductions in agriculture were cited as the main reason for the decline in employment during the month. Africans Seek from their government. Ambassador James J.

SEEING and SAYING By WILLIAM FOWLKES World's Managing Editor NOW THAT THE election dust is settling, the political prognosticators are trying to figure out what happened to produce one of the closest national choices in history. Any observer who thinks he knows all the answers, knows too little for much talk. At best the election was the result of hard campaigning, bargaining and mistakes in the eyes of voters who enjoyed the candidate charming by day and night. DURING THIS CHANGE of administration, whether or not any recount affects the partisan identity of the President, minority leadership has an obligation to unify the common objectives of the minority. Both Republicans and Democrats of color know of the need for full opportunity for training and jobs, for representation in all branches of government — both at home and abroad. THAT THERE HAVE been and will be leaders of merit and dedication in both major parties, attuned to the theme and work of democracy, is helpful to all Americans. We cannot let this theme die, or be trampled in the dust of discarded thought and action by the politicians and public servants of every level. As our majority understands this simple expectation within our commonwealth, the faster will our tensions vanish and the nation fulfill its destiny.

Open Market Only Solution To Housing Problem, Weaver Says Only a policy of open occupancy in suburban housing will enable the large cities of the North and West to stem the outward tide of middle-class white families, Robert C. Weaver, chairman of the NAACP Board of Directors, maintains in an article in, the current issue of Land Economics, quaterly journal of planning, housing and public utilities. "Opening the suburbs to nonwhites is one of the necessary prices for attracting and holding middle-income whites in the central city," the article asserts. One of the country's leading authorities on housing, Mr. Weaver is vice chairman of the new Housing and Redevelopment Board which supervises the urban renewal program in New York City. The article, entitled "Class, Race and Urban Renewal" surveys and class, Race and Urban Renewal" analyzes the impact of race and surveys and analyzes the impact of race and class on urban renewal programs. The infiltration of lowincomers into old established middle-class neighborhoods has historically impelled the original residents to seek new neighborhoods, Mr. Waever points out. This has been true whether the newcomers have been European immigrants, Appalachin Mountain whites, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans or Negroes. Experience suggests, the author asserts, "that this is a class as well as a color phenomenon." Discrimination, against Negroes of all classes, he concedes, accentuates the problem. The Negro's restricted access to the housing market sustains property values in middle-class districts within the city and, thus tends "to accelerate the exodus of middle-class white families," he declares. "Were middle-class Negroes able to compete freely in the total market," the article continues, "their volume in most neighborhoods would have been so slight as to have occasioned little concern There would have been much less premium payment incident to initial non-white occupancy and white owners would have had less economic incentive to forsake attractive neighborhoods and homes." In housing, Mr. Weaver concludes: "The problems of class and color can "never be solved in any one neighborhood. Today, they cannot be solved in the central city. They are problems of metropolitan areas." GOP Blames of the religious issue, created by Kennedy's Catholic faith, Finch said only that "other issues were paramount." He did say that an incident involving Dr. Norman Vincent Peale "obviously didn't help" the Nixon campaign. Peale presided at a Washington meeting of Protestant clergymen who questioned whether a Catholic president would be free of church pressure. Finch reported that there was an almost complete "lack of criticism of the conduct of the campaign" in messages coming to the Nixon headquarters. If the campaign were to be planned again, he said, there would be no changes in the basic decisions. Herbert G. Klein, Nixon's press secretary, said thousands of messages received since the election showed Nixon was "more popular than ever before .. more popular than anyone in America except President Eisenhower." He reported that "a tremendous number" of these messages urged Nixon to run again in 1964 and to remain active in politics. As the count of late reporting precincts continued, Kennedy clung to his slim lead in popular votes, with 50.27 per cent of more than 67 million votes tabulated. Kennedy had 338 electoral votes from 23 states, counting California where he held a lead of about 35,000 while about 200,000 absentee votes still were being counted. Bank Robbed As Crowds Watch Veterans Parade A Negro gunman robbed a federal loan company of more than $4,041 Friday while hundreds of persons lined the sidewalks outside watching a Veterans Day parade. Detectives said the tall, Wellgroomed bandit escaped in the crowds which jammed the street and prevented police cars from reaching the scene for several minutes. The holdup occurred shortly before noon at the First Federal Savings and Loan Association in downtown Jacksonville. Officers said the man, described as in his late 20s and wearing dark glasses, shoved a paper bag across the counter to a teller. Mrs. Frances Dederick, and ordered her to fill it with $100, $50, $20 and $10 bills. Mrs. Dederick told police he carried a pistol wrapped in a newspaper. "I wouldn't look at him," she said. "I thought he might shoot if he thought I was trying to remember his face." Most of the other employes of the bank and its customers were at the door or outside watching the parade, police said. The FBI said the man was reported to have a thin mustache, was well - dressed, wearing a blue suit and tie and felt hat. Police speculated he might be the same man who robbed a Negro liquor store of $132 during a parade following a football game here two weeks ago. To Hold Hearings The House Aeronautics Committee will hold public hearing next month on air safety functions of the Federal Aviation Agency chairman John Bell William, D-Mass., announced Thursday.

Aircraft maintenance will be one of the most important subjects under consideration, he said.
